His first book, Cathedral (1973), was a history, extensively illustrated with pen-and-ink drawings, of the construction of a fictitious but representative Gothic cathedral. Macaulay is the author of several books on architecture and design. Macaulay currently lives in Norwich, Vermont.
He then took jobs as an interior designer, a junior high school teacher, and a teacher at RISD before he began to create books.
He spent his fifth year at RISD in the European Honors Program, studying in Rome. After graduating he decided against pursuing a career in architecture. After graduating from high school in Cumberland, Rhode Island, in 1964, he enrolled in the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) where he received a bachelor's degree in architecture. He had an early fascination with how machines operated and made models and drew illustrations of them. At the age of eleven, Macaulay emigrated with his family to Bloomfield, New Jersey. Macaulay was a 2006 recipient of a MacArthur Fellows Program award and received the Caldecott Medal in 1991 for Black and White (1990).ĭavid Macaulay was born in Burton upon Trent and raised in Lancashire, England. His illustrations have been featured in nonfiction books combining text and illustrations explaining architecture, design and engineering, and he has written a number of children's fiction books. His works include Cathedral (1973), The Way Things Work (1988) and The New Way Things Work (1998). David Macaulay (born 2 December 1946) is a British-born American illustrator and writer.
